48"x 48" Whelping Box Kit for Dogs and Puppies with Rails,Suitable for Large/Medium Dogs,White

Just the rights size, easy to assemble, easy to clean, and durable! Kept all our puppies safe.

Great Whelping Box From Great Seller! This a super easy whelping box to assemble............even with a torn rotator cuff. It took less than ten minutes to have a whelping box ready to go. This is a ideal box for birthing and raising a litter in. Our Golden Retriever delivered a litter of nine in it. Quality material, quality floor pad, useable extra's included. MOST IMPORTANT: We had a minor "hic-cup" with our shipment. The seller went way beyond and above to take care of me! Old time service! The CEO actually sent a email to make sure I was pleased and I am!!! UPDATE: The "pig rail" is a puppy life saver! It is tall and wide enough that when our 11 day old Golden Retriever pups get behind momma the pup is perfectly safe from momma leaning backwards. This is a GREAT box!!!

Update: The process of removing the mat and replacing it with a clean one is difficult and the mechanics of adding high to the door is also difficult. Pros: 1. Well made and designed 2. Easy to assemble 3. Once no longer needed can be taken apart and put away. 4. Added value, the mat, color coded collars and tracking forms 5. The guards to avoid sofocation are by far the best I have seen, they actually work 6. Very easy to clean. 7. If you try to built this and buy the add one separately you'll be looking at spending more money. 8. Once the puppies are older you can remove the safety rail, easy to remove. Cons: 1. I wish they had included a storage bag for when is put away 2. I wish thay had included a spare mat to swap them in between washes.

This helped me so much having a peace of mind that my floppy mama dog wasn't going to squish her puppies. They're larger breed and worked for a litter of 6 but they quickly outgrew the pig rails and started getting their feet caught in the gap between the rail and the wall. It seemed okay on sturdiness as long as you dont have to move it around as the boards just slide into the post. Durability was okay, some of the tabs broke that held the boards in when assembling and the design of the posts were okay other than the middle post some of the puppies got their tooth stuck around the groove. I'd recommend for the first 4 weeks but switching them to another pen after that. The size is decent for medium/large size puppies but they quickly run out of room after the first few weeks. For the price it definitely helped though!

Well made, high quality.

As a whelper, I love how durable, easy to clean, easy to breakdown/move and lightweight it is. It’s extremely easy to use, it’s a snug fit with the interlocking notches. If you aren’t careful you can break a notch or bend it but you can bend it back in place. It has the rounded inserted for the edges so you won’t get scratched while moving around it. It’s been a safe option for me especially around my toddler.

Don’t stay together.

The neighbors moved and gave us their pitbull. She was pregnant and heartworm positive. I've never had a pitbull before or a litter of puppies. I set up the whelping box early in my dining room, giving her time to nest. She didn't even look at it until the day she went into labor. She had her first of 8 puppies on my brand new suede sofa. I quickly dragged the whelping box next to the sofa and she jumped in. Over the next four weeks, I was constantly cleaning the box with clorox wipes. The puppies outgrew it at about 4-5 weeks...or rather they learned how to climb out of it. I had two whelping boxes to help keep the puppies contained while cleaning the other one. The box was easy to assemble, clean, and slide around the floor to clean under it. Honestly, I wish it was a little heavier to help hold down the large washable puppy pads. Some people may think a whelping box is unnecessary and a waste of money when a kiddie pool would serve the same purpose. I disagree and it made this 56 year old woman's life a little more bearable with 9 new family members.
